It’s easy to forget that we share this planet with so many other people. Too often we act selfishly, hoarding over land, possessions, and money that we never realize how much we take from the Earth and never give back. Being eco-friendly requires some sacrifices but here, in New York, partying will not be surrendered.

Last Week, one of the City’s only, and most popular eco-friendly nightclubs, Greenhouse, helped celebrate Earth Week by hosting their “Greenhouse Gives Back” campaign.  Each night from April 16^th to the 22^nd, proceeds were given to Global Green, Cans for a Cure, Prospect Park Alliance, American Cancer Society, Riverkeeper, Green Festival, and Plant a Billion Trees, each an environmental or health-based charity.

A refreshing take on a lifestyle that revolves around glamour and innovation, Greenhouse is a benefit to New York City and the world. Nearly everything used to build the club was recycled, from their bamboo floors to the glass tables. The 6,000 square foot bi-level space uses wind power to run their LED lighting and low flow sinks that conserve electricity and water. 

"As an eco- friendly nightclub it's important that we stick by our motto of living a greener life by supporting Earth Week, Earth Day, Earth Festival, and charities that concentrate on an eco-friendly lifestyle," says Greenhouse co-owner Barry Mullineaux.

Greenhouse also served as an after party space for the Green Festival NYC that happened on Saturday, April 21.
